Eden of the East

It's hard to describe the type of series this is. It involves the NEET class and the economical-political attitude amongst Japan's youth toward the older upper-class management. One of these youths, Takizawa, mysteriously comes into possession of a phone that enables him to enact changes in his and others' lives. Fate causes him to meet Saki, a recent graduate seeking employment, and the adventure begins.

The tone of the film is lighthearted, even though the plot deals heavily in political intrigue and adventure. The story is well-written to reveal stepwise all the events occurring before, during, and after Takizawa's and Saki's fateful meeting, including some quirky romance, intrigue, and action. The series ends on a fun and exciting solution to some of the problems that Takizawa encounters along the way, but leaves us with new questions and lead-ins to the following 2 feature films for the series.

I've seen the feature films, and unfortunately, they don't maintain the same level of excitement, mystery, and fun that the original series does. It feels as they're made simply to finish the story lines with logical endings. I'd recommend just watching the original series, and even though it's tough, don't bother with the following feature films to answer the questions created by the series.

Higashi no Eden (Eden of the East) is an 11-episode series concluding with 2 films between 2009 and 2010.

The animation studio is Production I. G. A short, exciting series that deserves the public's interest. Funny, ironic, mature and of very high artistic quality.

Attractive character design, a rich soundtrack and, above all, an incredible script.

The characters are endearing and have depth, which is quite a change from certain productions.

The only drawback is that some of the plot is not easy to understand.

The scenario is reminiscent of Robert Ludlum's novels, and the adventures of Jason Bourne come to mind when I think of this anime.

The characters were well put together like you do get the "Terror in resonance" vibes but at the same time, the plot didn't seem that interesting. A guy who is a charmer as well as a terrorist who has a ton of naked nerdy men worshipping him.....ok that's just plain odd. I mean odd in a meh way. I mean I would've liked if this anime was rather serious then lighthearted like I think it wouldve fit better on the show.

Yeah it's an alright anime but I wouldn't be bothered watching the 2 movies anytime soon cause couple of the episodes I watched did drag on. The anime did tho get a few bunch of great English Dub cast (J Michael Tatum for instance) so that's the main reason why I'm giving it a 7/10!

Eden of the East is an idea I like. The execution does leave me bore some of the time. It has funny characters and an interesting story, but it's just didn't catch my attention.

I really enjoyed the setup because the naked guy with revolver no memory and a girl who needed to get away from the cops. It is wonderful start

mystery just keep building up and it is fun, so I don't question it. But there is a point where the story gets so b*** and so much stuff is happening so I'm just like. I have to tap out, I can no longer keep up and I'm just trusting the story to make sense for somebody who truly care .

I like the character design they are So cute round in the designs. Characters are fine. They do the job. I just think the show lacks something,

I like the themes, and what the story is about. The way it's told just keep me bored. I mean this is mostly in the movies where this is happening ,this show is a good setup, but the movie is just don't stick the landing, so all this is a fine experience.

First off, to anyone who watches this, the show keeps talking about "Neets" and at first I thought that was something specific to the show but it turns out it's just a slang term that you can look up on wikipedia, which I would advise if you don't want to keep wondering about it the way I did for half the series.

As for the show itself, Eden of the East is an entertaining little anime series with an interesting premise. The main character is likable and mysterious, although only a few of the characters have any real personality. The story is engaging and has a number of clever ideas in it.

On the other hand, I have a few issues. While I watched this as "the complete series," it is actually more like a first chapter of a longer work, which is why there are a couple of movie sequels (the first of which was wretched; haven't seen the other). Also, the central premise is fairly nuts, and you never get any really convincing rationale for it.
